John Sherman and Dhoya, Ganconagh [W.B. Yeats], 1891 (Second Edition)
Yeats's first published extended work of fiction, issued in Unwin's "Pseudonym Library". According to Symons, as quoted by Wade, the edition consisted of two thousand copies, of which 356 were bound in cloth, and the remainder in wrappers, for publication in the second week of November. Featuring both a novella and a short story, brought Yeats a much-needed forty pounds during a difficult financial period. Reflecting on it thirteen years later, Yeats candidly admitted it was ‘written when I was very young and knew no better.’ Both stories are rooted in Irish mythology and marks Yeats's early obsession with the coupling of Irish myth and identity.
Good Condition. Exceptionally scare in flimsy yellow wraps. Good but fragile binding. Pages are clean. First gathering from FFEP to p.2 is becoming loose but not detached. Slight creasing to title page. Notable creasing to spine and splits to edges. Wraps are generally clean but are mottled by occasional dark spots.
